Overview
The Eaton E65-SMPRS9109 is part of Eaton’s compact E65 SM photoelectric sensor line, engineered for demanding industrial automation environments. This polarized reflex sensor operates on 10-30 VDC and provides NPN open-collector output at 100 mA maximum, making it suitable for PLC and discrete control circuits. The 3-meter (approximately 10 ft) sensing range with polarized reflex detection ensures reliable light-to-dark and dark-to-light switching, ideal for conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and automated assembly lines.
